    Interested hotels often did not have an English speaking staff member. Tour was rushed and especially Busan for a few hours. Tour guide was excellent but we had to employ him at great expense to see Jenu Island during Buddha”s birthday with a huge escalation in coatings. DMZ and Jeju Island were definitely highlights for South Korea

    I really loved this South Korea Express trip through MWTours and Tour Radar! It was pretty fast paced and the group covered a lot of ground in just a week, but I got to see so many things that I probably wouldn’t have seen on another tour or by myself. Our guide was also really great! He provided lot of good information on the sites we were visiting and brought us to good places for lunches. All of the accommodations were really nice as well, and we had rides booked to and from the airport, which was awesome. My only gripe is that the DMZ tour took a little longer than expected (we thought it would only be half day but it took all day), so we got less time in Seoul than we originally planned. My suggestion to anyone booking this tour would be to book extra days at the end of the tour just for Seoul. But other than that I loved the tour!

    The only problem was getting food in the evening from some of the towns and hotels because they were either closing for the night or the hotels didn’t serve after 8 or 9 pm. So maybe knowing this the tour guide can arrange for something earlier. Otherwise the tour guide and driver were wonderful.
